Safety

of the brak e . T he main reasons for loss of control are:

T his mac hine meets or ex ceeds CEN standard EN 836:1997, ISO standard 5395:1990 (when appropriate decals applied), and ANSI B71.4-2004 speciﬁcations in effect at the time of production when equipped with rear w eight as listed in the implement Operator’ s Man ual.

Improper use or maintenance b y the operator or o wner can result in injur y . T o reduce the potential for injur y , comply with these safety instr uctions and alw a ys pa y attention to the safety aler t symbol, whic h means CA UTION , W ARNING , or D ANGER—“personal safety instr uction. ” F ailure to comply with the instr uction ma y result in personal injur y or death.

Safe Operating Practices

T he follo wing instr uctions are from the CEN standard EN 836:1997, ISO standard 5395:1990, and ANSI B71.4-2004.

Training

• R ead the Operator’ s Manual and other training material carefully . If the operator or mec hanic can not read the languag e of this man ual it is the o wner’ s responsibility to explain this material to them.

• Be familiar with the controls , safety signs , and the proper use of the equipment.

• Nev er allo w c hildren or people unfamiliar with these instr uctions to use or ser vice the mo w er . Local regulations ma y restrict the ag e of the operator .

• Nev er mo w while people , especially c hildren, or pets are nearb y .

• K ee p in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occur ring to other people or their proper ty .

• Do not car r y passeng ers .

• All operators and mec hanics should seek and

obtain professional and practical instr uction. T he o wner is responsible for training the users . Suc h instr uction should emphasize:

– the need for care and concentration when

w orking with ride-on mac hines;

– control of a ride-on mac hine sliding on a

slope will not be reg ained b y the application

◊ insufﬁcient wheel g rip;

◊ being dri v en too fast;

◊ inadequate braking;

◊ the type of mac hine is unsuitable for its

task;

◊ lac k of a w areness of the effect of

g round conditions , especially slopes;

◊ incor rect hitc hing and load distribution.

• T he o wner/user can prev ent and is responsible for accidents or injuries occur ring to himself or herself , other people , or proper ty .

Preparation

• W hile mo wing, alw a ys w ear substantial footw ear , long trousers , hard hat, safety glasses , and hearing protection. Long hair , loose clothing, or jew elr y ma y g et tangled in mo ving par ts . Do not operate the equipment when barefoot or w earing open sandals .

• T horoughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remo v e all objects whic h ma y be thro wn b y the mac hine .

• W ar ning-Fuel is highly ﬂammable . T ak e the follo wing precautions:

– Store fuel in containers speciﬁcally designed

for this pur pose .

– R efuel outdoors only and do not smok e

while refueling .

– Add fuel before star ting the engine . Nev er

remo v e the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is r unning or when the engine is hot.

– If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to star t the

engine but mo v e the mac hine a w a y from the area of spillag e and a v oid creating any source of ignition until fuel v apors ha v e dissipated.

– R e place all fuel tanks and container caps

securely .

• R e place faulty silencers/m ufﬂers .

• Ev aluate the ter rain to deter mine what

accessories and attac hments are needed to properly and safely perfor m the job . Only use

accessories and attac hments appro v ed b y the man ufacturer .

• W atc h out for trafﬁc when crossing or near roadw a ys .

• Chec k the operator’ s presence controls , safety switc hes and shields to mak e sure they are attac hed and functioning properly . Do not operate unless they are functioning properly .

Adequate r ear w eight is necessar y to pr ev ent the r ear wheels fr om lea ving the g r ound. Do not stop suddenl y while deck or implement is raised. Do not tra v el do wn hill with the deck or implement raised. If the r ear wheel lea v es the g r ound, steering is lost.

Operation

• Do not operate the engine in a conﬁned space where dang erous carbon mono xide fumes can collect.

Engine exhaust contains carbon mono xide, which is an odor less, deadl y poison that can kill y ou.

• Stop the blades rotating before crossing

surfaces other than g rass .

• Nev er direct the disc harg e of material to w ard b ystanders nor allo w any one near the mac hine while in operation.
